Exactly. It is also not right that nobody is using the swap flag. YaST
is using it and intends to use it for DASDs as well with SLE15.
And what does it do with it and why bother? If it contains a swap

table to provide duplicate information?
Hi,
But as I found, when a partition is labelled with swap flag without
swap filesystem, can not be
used as swap partition, by which i mean this partition can not be opened
with command *swapon.

the swap flag will depend on the
swap file system. If the swap system exits, then let's open this flag,
if not, just close it.*
