600M  boot partition
Then
33Gig / partion
then
40Gig the rest
  the result  output at command df -h

command

df -h

output

Filesystem                            size    used    avail    use%    mounted on
udev                                    10M   160k     9.9M     2%       /dev
/dev/disk/by-uuid/f34f54ddblaaa blaaa blaaa on and on and onand more
                                           32G   781M    30G       3%     /

Re: Solved df -h output

/dev/disk/by-uuid/f34f54ddblaaa    = /dev/sda2

did you create a swap partition as /dev/sda3...?

/dev/shm is a tmpfs that is 1/2 your memory size by default.  It is a good thing in general.  Google will tell you more.

Re: Solved df -h output

that was a good link and a good description. I should have stayed there

search /dev/shm I think is what I saw.
