dev=/dev/system/home
resize2fs $dev 80G
Then, to be sure of the real size:
blks=$(tune2fs -l $dev | awk -F: '/Block size/ { print $2/512 }')
fssize=$(tune2fs -l $dev |
awk -v bs=$blks -F: '/Block count/{print $2*bs}')
Now, $fssize has the complete size in bytes. Verify it:
echo $fssize
Now, for lvresize:
lvresize -L 80G system/home
Verify that the printed target size matches the wanted value.

NO! lvreduce doesn't care about what's inside, and will happily lose
data.
> 4. Do i need to umount system/home when resizing?
Yes, and you must do a full fsck also:
e2fsck -f /dev/system/home
