I figured it out! I think /dev/sda2 is my swap. It seems /dev/sda3 is the partition I just created. I rebooted and ran df and everything was there. Then a thought happened (a rare thing) and I umounted the devices and they were no longer shown with df. so I learned something new. or perhaps I just relearned it.

Did you mount format /dev/sda2, mount it as something? udev is just the device manager

I type in 'df' to see what it reports as free space but the new partition I created (/dev/sda2) isn't listed. I then typoe in 'df /dev/sda2' and it says the filesystem is udev. Some questions: what do they mean by udev? and Why isn't it listed as /dev/sda2? Also, how should I get it to list properly? Does this perhaps mean I should reboot?
