How do I tell if my partition is aligned for a 64k/RAID-6?

I created a partition from 0Gb to 13T on the following LUN, but how do I 
verify this is aligned to the (hardware) 64KiB raid-6 array?

I am not worried about the filesystem as the defaults usually get it right 
but with parted, this is the first time I had to use it for home use and 
with RAID-6 I am noticing slower performance with 15 disks (1 is a spare) 
in RAID-6 (albeit slower 7200 ones, RE3s) than I was getting with 10 
raptor150s in RAID-6 (but I had used fdisk there).
