The only things Paul should be careful is to first shrink file system, than logical volume and to correctly calculate file system size and by how many extents he can shrink logical volume. If he shrinks logical volume too much, he might end up loosing data. Running fsck in non-destructive mode (fsck -N) and/or attempting to mount file system read-only after he shrinks logical volume might be a good idea to test all is OK.
