If it's not in the root directory of the partition, put it on the same
partition as the parent directory. If it's at the root partition, put
it on the top partition. I was going to suggest the partition with the
most free space, but that needs too much smarts in the file system for
my taste. You may occasionally have to mount the overlays in different
locations to manually rebalance the loads.
Hmmm.. how would mount handle this?

Tell me about it. Next time I'll get a really big drive and make /usr/src
_THIS_BIG_.

What to you do if you have to export this as an NFS drive? Everything
would have to mount both partitions as /foo/as (can be renamed) and /as2
(cannot be renamed due to symlinks).
