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.

*Could i just say that this swap file system is the key point? **If so,  
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.*
*

Best regards.
