"Partition X does not end on cylinder boundary."

I'm going about realigning my HDDs to 4K boundary (please see my spec in sig).
Since, unfortunately, I've already started using my device (only HD_a2. HD_b2 is empty. I'm using standard mode) I decided to:
1. realign /dev/sdb.
2. backup (cp -a) HD_a2 to HD_b2.
3. realign /dev/sda

However, once I finished with /dev/sdb the output fom fdisk was as following:

Code:

/ # fdisk -lu /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/sdb1              64     1060295      530116  82 Linux swap
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary
/dev/sdb2         2088456  1953525167   975718356  83 Linux
/dev/sdb4         1060296     2088455      514080  83 Linux
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary

Partition table entries are not in disk order

I've got a couple of question:
1. That warning message - nothing to worry about right? Or if you were in my shoes you'd make some changes?
2. In order to realign /dev/sda I though I'd swap the two drives, and now that /dev/sda is /dev/sdb, and /dev/sdb is /dev/sda (containing everything, including ffp which was backed-up) I'll realign /dev/sdb. That way there's no need for all that moving stuff to ramdisk, special fun_plug.sh etc. Is it going to work?
