Probably so.

Say, I forgot to mention that I'm running colinux on WinXP Home.  Do
other people see this problem?  Perhaps it's peculiar to XP.  It's
quite easy to test: if you have a raw partition (not a file) on, say,
/dev/cobd2, just do a "file -s /dev/cobd2" and see if it gives you
"empty" or the partition type...
