It's trivial, as long as there are open slots in the pool. You don't
need to use the vchanger. Just define an autolabelling format and turn
it loose. But why on earth would you split your volumes into 5GB
chunks? That's just a little too big to fit onto a DVD, and
impractically small for any other purpose.
