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"

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

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

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