Alignment's easy: using parted (the user-hostile program), if you do go in

aligned correctly.

i found -a optimal to do weird things, and almost always complain. I just use -a none now, and specify partition start in (512b) sectors, like..

    # parted /dev/sdc
    align none
    mklabel gpt
    mkpart pri 512s -1s

don't start at 0, as thats where the MBR or GPT has to go. 512 sectors is 256K bytes, which puts you on a erase block boundary with most SSD's as well as HD's. -1s is end of the disk.
