My workstation, in use for over a year now, shows the same warning message (start=63...) as your transcript. Further, having used sfdisk for a *long* time for some fairly rigorous applications, I have complete confidence in it. Reread the man sections on the "+" and "-" suffix and you get your first clue. The run sfdisk again and add "-uS" and I think you will be OK with it.

Indeed your example (below) confirms that this is an sfdisk issue, unrelated to my LVM problem which I now consider resolved.
Well, this is what I call 2 (or 3) at the price of one. Thanks for the extra education! Itay
