Just made the costly mistake of shrinking an LVM volume by booting from a DVD, and using lvm to resize directly. I should have read the following first -

Seems the key step I missed was to use 'resize2fs' to resize the filesystem first.
Having re-installed... my next step is to put a second install on the hard disk, for future recovery work.
