It was fdisk that was complaining.

Those messages aren't complaints, they're just informing you. (I'm not sure any more, but I think that at one time the space between the end of the partition and the cylinder boundary couldn't be used.) I suspect that at this point, the only reason fdisk still tells you that is that none of the maintainers consider it worth the bother to remove that code. Sooner or later, somebody will get tired of seeing it and it will go away.

I have had a partition tool quit on me for want of cylinder alignment.
Don't remember which one.

I think that sfdisk will do what OP wants.
