After you extend the file, you need to extend the file-system. 
You can either do this from within colinux 
(start colinux with your new filesystem as a secondary 
filesystem eg /dev/cobd2 and run resize2fs /dev/cobd2) 
or from dos with the resize2fs.exe program 
(DOS copy available as part of the cygwin e2fsprogs package)
