what you could do is:

good_node# csync2 -TIUX  ### please check whether you want to use the X...
good_node# csync2 -fr /  ### mark them all as forced
good_node# csync2 -uvd   ### update verbosely in dryrun

# when the dry run made sense, leave of the 'd'


whether that is what you mean, I don't know...
