I think it was when I was building a 6.0 box a couple weeks ago, but I'd partition, it would do an mkfs... and *then* tell me it wasn't aligned, and I played with it several times, and it absolutely would NOT align it, nor offer to do so.
When I was building out a 6.0 box a few days ago using 4k sector drives, I first booted into rescue mode and partitioned using fdisk via: fdisk -uc -H 224 -S 56 /dev/sd{a,b,c,d} (I'm not sure, but the -H and -S might be irrelevent due to the -uc.)
<snip> No joy - I think I have to use parted - the drive was too big for fdisk.
