   Lets take it one step further. Suppose You have a quota and you
   fave a file XXX. Joe Schmo cretes a hrd link to file XXX. Later you
   delete the file, but XXX exists as another file name, so your quota
   is still charged for file XXX. This can happen, also Joe Schmo

Maybe the system's quota or file ownership policies can be changed?
For example, if you unlink the file, perhaps the file can be somehow
put in his quota?

Or maybe everybody can have a workstation with its own disk.
