Reduce the filesystem to 78G or 79G with resize2fs, then reduce the LV to 80G, then grow the ext3 filesystem again to fill all the LV. This should make it safer when cutting the LV.
That's what I always do. It eliminates small chances of my math disagreeing with resize2fs's math. Plus, IIRC, then the second re-size doesn't need a size parameter. Resize2fs will automatically grow to the maximum allowed by the partition/logvol.
