simplest way would be to identify the unified files
by looking at the attributes and the link count

then just do
        
        cp -va <file> <file>.temporary
        rm -f <file>
        mv <file>.temporary <file>

of course this could be done in several ways, more
or less secure while the server is still running.

a quick and dirty solution would be to backup
the linux-vserver (guest), remove and restore
it (either with dump/restore or tar) ...

HTH,
