    Erm, no. Lvreduce will resize your logical volume - if you shrink the LV
    without shrinking the filesystem it contains, your data is toast.

    resize2fs is the tool for resizing ext2/3 filesystems. ext2online is
    also available for growing ext2/3 without unmounting.

    Kind regards,

    Bryn.
