That doesn't give us enough detail.  What's the output from fdisk -l
/dev/sdg say?

I assume that your MySQL data is on the lvm partition - I don't know
if lvm pads things out, either (where does LVM store it's partition
data?).

I think that F14 should automatically align partitions on 1MB
boundaries which seems to be what most are standardizing on these days
(Microsoft has been doing it for a while, anyways).

I wouldn't bother.
