this shows you have a partition of type 'linux swap' defined in your hard
drive's partition table.

this shows your swap partition is not used at all (the 0K free part).
this is probably cause your system's startup scripts does not set this
swap partition into active mode. this setting is usually done when you
tell the install script to use this partition as swap space.
in order to modify this manualy, you should:
1. format this partition, using the 'mkswap' command.
2. setting the swap partition into active state, using the 'swapon'
command.
3. make sure yur swap partition appears in /etc/fstab . here is my entry:
/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
4. make sure 'swapon' is used in your system's startup scripts, so swap
space will be used after the next reboot.
