I prefer not to get in the situation where I have to shrink a filesystem
though - xfs doesn't support it anyway.

Thanks for suggestions. Well I would not shrink the filesystem (actually
a part of it) if I did not need more space on /tmp (as a part of the
LVM). Anyway, after this experience, may I suggest to LVM programmers to
think about some software routines that would enable users to recompose
(resize, shrink, whatever ...) their LVM from within a mounted system,
in a way that after the next reboot, the LVM and FS automatically
recomposes itself - so to avoid common mistakes.
