Reducing the Linux LVM(8e) partition itself (not PV, VG or LV)

Hi,

I have a /dev/hda6 partition as Linux LVM(8e), its size is around 8GB. I have one PV(no free PEs in it all are allocated) in this partition. This PV has a total size of around 7GB.
I have also made sure that this PV is contiguous from the start of the LVM partition hence it is confirmed that the free 1GB is at the end of LVM partition.
I want to reduce this Linux LVM(8e) partition and recover this 1GB free space to create a fat32 partition.
When i tried to print partition table of this /dev/hda6 through gnu parted, it gave error "Error: Could not detect file system." and so qtparted does not work either.

Is there anyway to reduce this linux LVM (8e) partition safely?

I have FC3 and gnu parted 1.6.15.

There's no partition table or filesystem on a LVM partiton.

Here are the steps. I hope I won't miss one:

lvreduce ..(if You don't have enough free PE)
pvmove ..
vgreduce ..
repartition(fdisk, cfdisk, parted .. )
possible reboot(reread the partition table)
pvcreate ..
vgextend ..
possibly lvextend ..
mkdosfs ..

Cheers,
