parted only knows about the alignment reported by the device, so if it reports 512b that's what it will use. There's no way to override this and have it calculate a different alignment automatically. But you can use the MiB units to set the sizes yourself so that you can make them start exactly where you want them. -- Brian C. Lane (PST8PDT) - weldr.io - lorax - parted - pykickstart
