I think we usually wind up using rfrm for this, so the basic
sequence of events is to use dpm-disk-to-dpns to get a list of
everything that used to be on the dead filesystem, then split
the lines in that output to give you just a list of the DPNS
names (it gives you the filesystem paths as well), then rfrm
the files by DPNS name. I have a vague recollection of doing
something properly handle files that have multiple replicas,
but I've just been looking for the details of that and haven't
found it yet.
