Indeed, both ways should work. But you'd better be sure you've already shrunk the *filesystem* itself, or you're going to lose all of your data. Isn't the -r (resizefs) supposed to do this? My copy of lvreduce as distributed with etch does not have this option. Try reducing the filesystem with resize2fs first, then doing lvreduce without the -r.
