I did, but it certainly is worth repeating.

Bingo! I was naively expecting the swap space to be a normal file and
show up in df(1).
$ swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 partition 102399992 0 -1
Crunching the numbers again I see that >97% is now accounted for.
Good enough.
Now to figure out how to lower the swap allocation...

Chunk size (and perhaps lowering the number of inodes) is something
else I guess I need to look into. From "df -i" I notice that only 1%
of the inodes are used.
