Same mechanism. If I see that foo is nearing the quota I can nohup the _small_ program that will run through foo's directories every hour and open everything new. If I'll be in really nasty mood I'll send it to myself through AF_UNIX socketpair and come out clean on fuser (and avoid running afoul of descriptor limits). Heavy LART and nearly undetectable one - fuser comes empty, process doesn't stand out in top or ps output, no extra links, no nothing. And quota running down.
