Is it normal on the new Ubuntu 22.04 install to have an extra /swap.img and extra BOOT partitions?
I just got this new dedicated server from RS.

But the technician noted that it's normal to have an extra /swap.img partition even though the server already has one.

/dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-11bb431f:4c3c8679:56c58d77:c2f8ae20-part1 none swap sw 0 0

Same; it also has an extra /biosboot even though it already has a /boot partition.

I have several dedicated servers from other hosts, but they don't have these two extra.

    Those two are redundant partitions and not needed, I think.
    My /etc/fstab content are:

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
    # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
    # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    /dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-11bb431f:4c3c8679:56c58d77:c2f8ae20-part1 none swap sw 0 0
    # / was on /dev/md3p1 during curtin installation
    /dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-9f132df2:efd57545:49802fc6:7ba83932-part1 / ext4 defaults 0 1
    # /boot was on /dev/md0p1 during curtin installation
    /dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-76e798ab:85b959f7:d01b7714:9b539d08-part1 /boot ext4 defaults 0 1
    # /biosboot was on /dev/md1p1 during curtin installation
    /dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-5a13b100:d012f7c9:905d4ef3:cc52b8df-part1 /biosboot ext4 defaults 0 1
    /swap.img none swap sw 0 0
    

    I have two SWAP partitions and two /boot and /biosboot.

    It's normal partition management when you have software raid
