I have a vm on 3.8 (ubuntu raring alpha/beta/something), and I find no such file there. Works great on the host OS, though (ubuntu precise, linux 3.2). I'm using this specifically on 3.8+. I'm not using VMs at the moment, but in the past it has been available there - not for partitions and loopback devices though. brassow
