with df output for /tmp and /var/run and the like (any tmpfs filesystem),
you see a bigger number because tmpfs uses both real AND virtual memory.

So what you see is the sizeof swap+RAM.

To see the actual size of your swap devices, use the command 'swap -l' and
look at the 'blocks' column. The number you see is in 512KB blocks, so
double that number and you will get you swap partition size in MB.
