Solaris 10 swap size question

hi all,

Does anyone have an explanation as to why the top utility and df -k
reports a different size of swap than what a swap -l and what the server
was actually configured with?

This system was jumpstarted with 16gb swap partition and swap -l
confirms that, but top and df -k show a much larger swap size ie;

Top

last pid: 1479; load averages: 0.07, 0.06, 0.05
08:48:41

58 processes: 57 sleeping, 1 on cpu

CPU states: 99.2% idle, 0.0% user, 0.8% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0%
swap

Memory: 32G real, 31G free, 73M swap in use, 43G swap free

Df -k

swap 44856200 8 44856192 1% /tmp

swap 44856216 24 44856192 1% /var/run

swap 44856192 0 44856192 0% /dev/vx/dmp

swap 44856192 0 44856192 0% /dev/vx/rdmp

yet swap -l shows the true swap size of 16gb that it was jumpstarted
with.

swap -l

swapfile dev swaplo blocks free

/dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/swapvol 288,29000 16 32787056 32787056 (in 512k
bytes so its half this = 16gb)

Thanks for the help.
