How to create a linode instance without default swap area?
I'd like to create some instances without swap area, but I can't find where to configure the default partitions, so I must modify /etc/fstab in every instances, which makes me a little annoying. So anyone knows how to remove the swap area in default?

If this is going to be a common setup, I would recommend creating a Golden Image to deploy from. This way, you can configure a Linode once, then deploy from the same starting point each time. We have details on how to both create and deploy from an image via the Cloud Manager on our website:
If you're interested in doing this through the API, here is the documentation for that:
