Can someone please do the math for me here? I am not able to figure the total.
What is "473164k bytes allocated"? Where is it allocated? In some hidden zfs
swap FS in my root pool?
What's the magic behind the number 473164k?
What is "388916k reserved"?
862080k+6062060k != 12594952/2 - So, where did the rest of it come from? I just
configured one device in /etc/vfstab.

man swap
" These numbers include swap space from all configured
swap areas as listed by the -l option, as well swap
space in the form of physical memory."
This is also a reasonable explanation of what the output of 'swap -s'
actually means.

Look about half-way down the page, under "Monitoring Swap Resources".
The whole page is worth a read, though.
