Partitions can not possibly be created on a fraction of a sector.
Optimal alignment is much larger than a single sector: typically 1
MiB. Create your partitions on 1 MiB boundaries. When you specify
the size in bytes or sectors, you are asking for exact placement.
Using conventional units of MB or GB allows parted to move the exact
start and end to the nearest preferable location rather than giving
that warning.
