Swap partition is a disk space that is not available for storing any kind of data other than memory dumps. So - I think it is perfectly fine to assume that the size of swap sums up with used space.

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615903 Title: free_disk_gb is not correctly, because swap disk size is not minus. Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Invalid Bug description: 1. code in compute/resource_tracker.py def _update_usage(self, usage, sign=1): mem_usage = usage['memory_mb'] disk_usage = usage.get('root_gb', 0) overhead = self.driver.estimate_instance_overhead(usage) mem_usage += overhead['memory_mb'] disk_usage += overhead.get('disk_gb', 0) self.compute_node.memory_mb_used += sign * mem_usage self.compute_node.local_gb_used += sign * disk_usage self.compute_node.local_gb_used += sign * usage.get('ephemeral_gb', 0) self.compute_node.vcpus_used += sign * usage.get('vcpus', 0) # free ram and disk may be negative, depending on policy: self.compute_node.free_ram_mb = (self.compute_node.memory_mb - self.compute_node.memory_mb_used) self.compute_node.free_disk_gb = (self.compute_node.local_gb - self.compute_node.local_gb_used) self.compute_node.running_vms = self.stats.num_instances 2. So I think self.compute_node.local_gb_used is contained swap disk size. And free_disk_gb is not minus swap disk size.
