Swap Object Thin Provisioning in vSAN 6.7

Hi.

In the article https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2018/07/18/swap-object-thin-provisioning-in-vsan-6-7/ write that "As of vSAN 6.7 the default behavior of the vSAN swap object is set to thin provisioned ". I have version 6.6.1, and VSAN.SwapThickProvisionDisabled = 1 (default). My comment is not published. I'm wondering who has what values of this parameter.

Learn the meaning via PowerCLI: Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity My-ESXi -Name "VSAN.SwapThickProvisionDisabled"

What is your build number? Are you using 6.6.1 U2 (8294253) by any chance?

vSAN 6.6.1 U2 was released after 6.7 GA. Builds released after 6.7 GA will most like have new features back-ported. That's why this is disabled by default even though it is technically p a previous version to 6.7

This is all logical, I do not argue. I myself think this way. But somewhere it's all fixed officially?
