In our case, we are using centos 8 and created a swap partition:
#cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 8.3.2011
Fstab info:
# cat /etc/fstab
#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Sat May 1 00:33:34 2021
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk/'.
# See
Maybe worth to mention, because it caught me by surprise:
Ubuntu creates a swap file (/swap.img) if you do not specify a swap
partition (check /etc/fstab).

With CentOS/Rocky 7-8 I’ve observed unexpected usage of swap when there is
plenty of physmem available.
Swap IMHO is a relic of a time when RAM capacities were lower and much more
expensive.
In years beginning with a 2, and with Ceph explicitly, I assert that swap
should never be enabled
