If I remember my reading of the documentation, I thought that when adding a
file to a unioned directory, that file is placed within the first directory
that was unioned and is writable. Otherwise the write fails completely. Am I
wrong on this or not up to date? If I am wrong, is it now possible to select
which directory you want to place your file into?
