e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
/dev/vg_arch/oravl99: 11/131072 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 16821/510976 blocks

3. Resize filesystem. example wanto to reduce 1G for existing filesystem
[root@RedHat6]# resize2fs -p /dev/vg_arch/oravl99 1G
resize2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)

4. reduce 1Gb on the filesystem
[root@RedHat6]# lvreduce -L 1Gb /dev/vg_arch/oravl99
