hd6 is the default logical volume for the swap space in AIX systems. Perhaps you are using an AIX system, right? A "logical volume" is something similar to a disk partition in Windoze and the first swap space, which is created during installation of the machine, is per default on the volume "hd6".

Issue "lsps -a" at the command line to see all the swap spaces in your system and how much they are used at the moment.
