DF doesn't show swap partition

2.9k views Asked by At

I am using DF to check my disk usage and partition. Why doesn't it show my swap partition? I have 8GB for swap when I installed CentOS 7.

root@localhost abigail]# df -h

/dev/mapper/centos-root  196G   30G  166G  16% /

Swap isn't a filesystem (like e.g. ext3) and thus isn't mounted in the normal sense. Use "swapon -s", it will confirm the numbers from the "free" output.
