Exactly, I was thinking the same thing, then it would be trivial, or perhaps if that is not the case, get everything else off the filesystem, new file system, recreate the dir and move everything back?

nodesave
NODESAVE(8) Linux System Managers Manual NODESAVE(8)
NAME
nodesave - Saves NET/ROM routing information
SYNOPSIS
nodesave [-p path] [-v] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
Nodesave saves the contents of the /proc filesystem entries for the NET/ROM routing tables. The output of the program is in the form of a
Bourne shell script that calls nrparms(8) to recreate the NET/ROM routing information. If no filename is given on the command line, the
program writes the script to stdout.
Typically nodesave would be used when taking a system off-air so that the NET/ROM routing may be quickly restored when the system is
brought back on-line.
OPTIONS
-p path Set the path to the nrparms binary. This only affects the output of the program. Default is /usr/sbin.
-v Display the version.
FILES
/proc/net/nr_neigh
/proc/net/nr_nodes
SEE ALSO
netrom(4), netromd(8), nrparms(8).
