Exactly.
You are right.
Code:
[admin@blechbuechse root]$ swapoff /dev/discs/disc0/part1
[admin@blechbuechse root]$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         13964      13448        516          0       1548       7336
-/+ buffers/cache:       4564       9400
Swap:            0          0          0
[admin@blechbuechse root]$ swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part1
[admin@blechbuechse root]$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
