I like the deceptively simple, if you remind that percent signs are the way to go for GNU parted (not to be confused with gparted which is Gnome parted).
At [WayBack] Creating a properly aligned partition with parted – twm’s blog:
mkpart /dev/somedevice ext4 0% 100%
It gets rid of the dreaded “The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance”.
