Windows 2003 doesnt align partitions on SAN’s automatically

An interesting fact i found out the hard way, windows 2003 wont align partitions on a SAN correctly all the time so to be safe i use diskpart.

Using DiskPart on Windows 2003 to create partitions:

DISKPART
> SEL DISK {x}
> CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY ALIGN=1024

Windows 2008 does this automatically.
