>From lsof(1):
+|-L [l] This option enables (`+') or disables (`-') the
listing of file link counts, where they are available - e.g.,
they aren't available for sockets, or most FIFOs and pipes.
When +L is specified without a following number, all
link counts will be listed. When -L is specified (the
default), no link counts will be listed.
When +L is followed by a number, only files having a
link count less than that number will be listed. (No num‐
ber may follow -L.) A specification of the form
``+L1'' will select open files that have been unlinked. A
specification of the form ``+aL1 <file_system>'' will
select unlinked open files on the specified file system.
I think you're looking for this:
$ lsof +aL1 /tmp
An example from my system:
cbell@circe:~$ lsof +aL1 | grep /var

I use grep to highlight /var as I don't use a separate /var partition.
