  Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
  ^^^^^^^^

 The warning is nonsense. The logical and physical sector size is the
 same. It means that every LBA is always aligned to physical sector
 boundary.

 Note that this bug does not mean that fdisk produces unaligned
 partitions. The problem is that fdisk forces to use bigger gaps
 between aligned LBAs, for example:

   correctly aligned LBA are: 256, 257, 258, ...  [N+1]
   fdisk assumes:             256, 264, 272, ...  [N+(sector_size/512)]
