Is my swap partition being used?

[zabolots]

During the install of FC4 I manually partitioned my drive and created 2 partitions, a big one for "/" and a smaller one for linux-swap. Does the installer recognize that I manually created a swap partition and automatically use it as such or do I need to do something to tell it where the swap partition is? How can I verify if my swap parition is being used correctly?

BTW, here's the output of df and parted if it helps:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1            111513860   3301948 102455828   4% /

Using /dev/hda
(parted) print

Try "swapon -s"

Please run `cat /proc/swaps` as root. if you're using your swap space, it will show you how much is availabl and how much is being used currently.

[root@dvarchive ~]# swapon -s
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/hda2                               partition       2096472 0       -1

I'm assuming that since this /dev/hda2 (the swap partition I created manually) is listed that it is the active swap partition (even though 0 bytes/blocks are currently being used).

I checked /etc/fstab and the only swap entry is

LABEL==m<85>É^Z¸5ãoÛ!CFRT   swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

but I have no way of knowing for sure if this label corresponds in some way to /dev/hda2
