Quotas and deleted users

[Ryan Golhar]

The /home partition is on one machine being NFS shared to a bunch of
others.  There are no copies except on a backup server, but the transfer
to backup is one-way.

I thought that the files might be in someone else's directory, but
doesn't the permission of the file automatically get set to the owner of
the directory? 

The only other thing I can think of is that the quota file needs to be
recreated...

Are you using snapshots that might still have old copies of his home
directory somewhere? Alternately, he may have files squirreled away down
some other user's directory, particularly if he was a member of a
development group that operated on a common tree.

I recently deleted a user from our system (including his home directory)
and used 'repquota' to report all user's quota stats.  

His entry is still listed there, but instead of his username being
displayed, its his old user ID.  Why is he still listed even though his
home directory has been removed?  The only place quotas are enabled is
on /home which is NFS exported.
