Hi!
I was using the parted utility to create GPT partitions as a workaround
to fdisk which forces partitions to start at 1MiB boundaries.
I set the first partition to begin at sector 40 but I got this --
Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best
performance.
Which's clearly wrong for the 4K disk, instead it should be --
Warning: The resulting partition may not be properly aligned for best
performance.
This warning is not shown only when partitions start at 1MiB boundaries.
align-check min claims that the partition is aligned.

The default alignment is optimal, which normally equates to 1 MiB. If
you want minimal alignment you need to run parted with -a min.
