Parted already aligns partitions to 1 MiB by default, so it doesn't

In that case getting the correct logical sector size would not

you want is the ability to specify an arbitrary alignment to use?
Yes, one way or another.

While libparted fails to detect the true physical sector size of
newer advanced format drives, please allow us to override the
detected size (_device_set_sector_size in libparted/arch/linux.c),
e.g. with a command line switch and/or a command.
