Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary

Hi

We have partitioned a disk using fdisk and created a primary partition but we are getting this warning on that partition

"Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary"

Ours is Oracle Linux 6.4 (Santiago)

 uname -r
2.6.39-400.24.1.el6uek.x86_64

Disk /dev/sdb: 300.0 GB, 299966445568 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36468 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 262144 bytes / 262144 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00043126

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1               1       36468   292929178+  83  Linux
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.


How can we fix this?

This is a secondary drive so we can delete the partition and re-partition it if required

Howdy, Stranger!
