If you do a

Code:

cat /proc/swaps

... you can see that the 700+MB of swap is at /dev/mmcblk0p3. From the df earlier, you can see that:

* /home/opt = /opt
* /dev/mmcblk0p2 = /home
* /dev/mmcblk0p1 = /home/user/MyDocs

Thus, /home (=/opt), swap, and MyDocs all are on the same chip.

tmpfs is just a fancy way of saying "use memory as a filesystem".
