There's not a lot you can do about it today, short of (1) symlinks
onto a filesystem with user quotas where the user owns the files, or
(2) some program that actively monitors the size of the files and
takes some action if/when it needs to.

The problem is that when a user goes over quota, they also stand a
good chance of ending up with corrupt MySQL data or index files. The
best solution would be to get some support built right into MySQL for
doing it. But I don't think it's high on the priority list, and
nobody has tried to sponsor such development.
