I have one question.Can any one tell me why out put of df command does not show me swap space on my system.

Please let me know whether swap is enabled or not ,if it is enabled why it is not showing in df command.

Thanks,

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.
