And what does it do with it and why bother? If it contains a swap

Hi, <br>
But as I found, when a partition is labelled with swap flag
without swap filesystem, can not be<br>
used as swap partition, by which i mean this partition can not be
opened with command <b>swapon.<br>
<br>
</b>Could i just say that this swap file system is the key point? <b>
</b>If so, the swap flag will depend on the<br>
swap file system. If the swap system exits, then let's open this
flag, if not, just close it.<b><br>
