What were you trying to do that didn't work?
While using the Anaconda GUI to create custom partitions, removing the swap from the layout created automatically leads to a gap of free space between the partitions.
What is the impact of this issue to you?
Loss of space
Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:
anaconda-34.25.5.17-1.el9_6
How reproducible is this bug?:
Always
Steps to reproduce
- Start the GUI installer
- Select custom partitioning
- Click to create the FS layout automatically
- Remove the last swap partition
Note: the problem also happens while creating all the partitions manually, and then I removed the /home (which was the 3rd partition on 4).
Expected results
No gap between the partitions.

Workaround
Create all the partitions manually without re-arranging them afterwards (no removal).
