I'm using Windows XP Pro and running the RedHat 9 ext3 1gb image under 
coLinux-20040319.  I had to install the "file" package via apt-get first.  
Then the command "file -s /dev/cobd2" also gives me "empty" even though
I can mount this device (a VFAT partition located at 
\Device\HarddiskVolume4) on my RedHat VM.
