See the LVM-HOWTO (package doc-linux.html)
There's a huge difference between resize=grow vs resize=shrink.

Why? The fs doesn't care if the partition its on gets increased. Just
enlarge the LV then remount the fs with the right param to make it grow.
To shrink, you have to shrink the fs first. How do do all this depends
on what type of fs it is.
