Overall Intent
Could anyone provide some additional guidance on the output below and explain if any action should be taken regarding partitions and SWAP? Perhaps even explain if I've done something stupid based on my explanation of how the system was created, and a recommendation to fix it if possible/needed?
My system has two pools:
Pool1 'Tank1' - 3 vdevs (first created with only 1 vdev, first pool created on the system). Each vdev is 5 disks. It is da1-15. I added the other vdevs at two later times and allowed the system to start filling them.
'Tank1' also has a SLOG on da0 (done after creating the pool). I was under the impression that you did not have to remove any original log partition (ZIL) from the original disks. Am I wrong?
Pool2 'Tank2' - 1 vdev of 5 disks. **Edit - This pool is da16-20.** I moved the system data set to this pool after it was created because I wanted it off the first one.
Questions
I am assuming the additional partitions are swap? Or the original ZIL for the pool? Both?
Why did it create partitions on some drives, but not others?
Was this a result (having partitions on some and not others) of the original system dataset being created on the first pool, but then not created on subsequent disks in pool 1 because I moved it to pool 2 before hand?
What are the gptid partitions for?

Final Questions
The documentation says that disabling SWAP is strongly discouraged. I don't have any interest in doing so knowing this.
Why would someone want to disable SWAP on FreeNAS (They're stupid is not quite the answer I'm looking for, more of their logic or reasons why)?
All the posts I could find about SWAP were bug reports asking for the ability to turn it off.
Are people wanting to remove it from certain disks, but not others? (Assuming you want it left on because are you not supposed to remove it entirely)?
Are those additional partitions on my disks hurting anything even though tank1 has a separate log and is not holding the system data set?
Should I try to remove them or otherwise care about this at all?
Thanks
