First things first: that is normal. Swap is not free space and does
not show up as such with the `df` command.

It should show up if it is "live" - i.e. `swapon` has been issued to
tell the kernel to use it, or it was in /etc/fstab at boot, or if a
liveCD detected it and used it - if you use the `free` or `top`
commands.

I'm afraid I have no personal experience of GPT partitioning just yet
except on Intel-powered Apple Macintosh systems so I can't advise on
configuring the drive.
