Yes: you specified a start position of 0 (mb), which means try to start
as close to zero as possible. Zero itself is not available, so sector 1
is used, and this is not aligned. Specify a start of 1 instead.

I'm trying to make a new partition but the alignment isn't working.  I've started parted with: parted -a optimal /dev/sda.  Then:

 (parted) mkpart                                                           
Partition name?  []? variables                                            
File system type?  [ext2]? ext4                                           
Start? 0                                                                  
End? 4g                                                                   
Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance.
Ignore/Cancel? 

Am i doing something wrong here?
