Oracle Linux 9.4 does not create a swap partition during installation?

David BalažicOct 23 2024

I installed OL 9.4 in Hyper-V , using automatic partitioning (the default) and noticed that no swap was created.

I also installed before v7.9 and v8.10 in similar way (mostly default options) and they both have /dev/dm-1 with size of 2GB set up as swap.

Is this some bug or intended change? The release notes does not mention it.

PS: I can create a swapfile after the fact, I just wonder why this change in behavior.
