What's meaning of extra partitions on partion table?

[Abdullah Teke]

Hi,
Thank you for response. But while i was installing i set up 3 partition for
/ , /home and swap. After i used for a while i used to swapoff and swapon
commands and then saw the extra partitions. May swapoff and swapon commands
cause the situation?
Thanks.
