There is little reason to use fdisk and > bsdlabel any more. i use only disklabel, no fdisk at all. i put partition start sector where i want - no align problems. I did not use gpart for now in production as i have no >2TB disk where i want to do partition at all. Actually i've got quite a few 3TB disks recently but there are no both gpart, fdisk or disklabels on them, just single full disk(*) filesystem for user data. * - actually gmirror of 3 disks.
