I think the fdisk in 6 tries to align on 4k boundaries. Does fdisk -c do the same thing?

have you tried sfdisk?
Steve - I had not - but asking sfdisk to list the device on centos has the wrong geometry to start with just like fdisk does. it should be 255 heads and 63 sectors.
sfdisk -v sfdisk (util-linux-ng 2.17.2)
sfdisk -l /dev/sde
