Usually, all of a partition is used. If the partition contains a 
filesystem, swap area, RAID member or LVM physical volume, these data 
structures use all the partition space. How much of the space within the 
data structure is used is outside the scope of the partition level and 
requires tools specific to the data structure type.

Note that df can show only the used space of mounted filesystems and is 
not always accurate (btrfs).
