Just not all SSD presents proper values here.
My advice is align to 1MiB in such case and it will work:-)
(this is default in recent versions - not all yet in Debian)
You can always do it manually, use fdisk -u (to work in sector mode,
note sector is 512B. Switch off DOS mode if it is enabled - there
should be warning)
For lvm, use pvcreate --dataalignment, then check with pvs -o +pe_start.
(You can use --units S to work in sectors mode like in fdisk.
2048 sectors == 1MiB, any multiple of it is ok)
(See man page and check archive, I think it was described here
several times.)
Milan
