It works rather this way:

lvresize calculates new blocksize from command line options and
- resizes LV and execs fsadm for fs resize (lvextend)
- or execs fsadm for fs shrink and then reduces LV (lvreduce)

It will not work without fsadm as the lvresize command does not know anything 
about filesystems and their utilities for its resizing.

The other way around is - to use only  fsadm - which will use lvresize.
It should have easier syntax for user - on the other hand - doesn't handle 
given sizes  - i.e.  1.5GB (float numbers) are not yet supported by this tool 
and user needs to use 1500M.
