In the case of EXT3, the file system must be unmounted to shrink it: umount /path/to/filesystem e2fsck -f /dev/vgname/lvname resize2fs /dev/vgname/lvname desiredsize lvreduce -L desiredsize /dev/vgname/lvname mount /dev/vgname/lvname /path/to/filesystem You'll get a nastygram from lvreduce about data loss. If you are 100% sure you specified the same size as you did for resize2fs (or larger), you'll be OK.
