It looks like the resize_reiserfs script is trying to do LVM operations
internally, and then doing the resize afterwards.  However, this is
terribly confusing, because the resize_reiserfs _program_ has the same
name.  You should get resize_reiserfs with the other reiserfs tools,
but I'm not sure whether it is compiled and installed by default.

I would suggest just reducing the LV to the original size, or not using
a relative size but an absolute size (so it doesn't try to grow the
LV), and continue to use the script.

Cheers, Andreas
