Bug Description

Shrinking partitions in gparted fails. I tried ext2/3 and reiserfs. In terminal,
I get the following errors:

It seems the size value is given including a point, like "2.508M" instead of
"2508M".

with reiser: resizer_reiserfs: the new size value is wrong.
with ext: resize2fs: ungültige Dateisystemgröße - 2.508M
(invalid filesystem size)

Calling resize2fs manually without a point works, with a point it fails with the
above error message.

I also tried shrinking an NTFS partition, which only worked with a new size <1000M.
