Thanks for the note. I didn't imagine that there'd be a hardware limitation (this being just the SCSI packet protocol over USB), but your question suggested a couple more searches to try, and I ended up finding the heart of the problem. It turns out that gparted leaves a legacy fdisk description when it writes the GPT one, and my OS config did not have the config value CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED set to y. So the kernel was using that fdisk description, which apparently leads to a garbled view of the disk's contents. With CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED enabled, I could then enable CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION beneath it. Build, reboot, and my large disk are all mounted and looking good. Thanks to the list for the help, and also kudos to the folks who put together the sunxi web content--it was very helpful in letting me get my kernel configured and built. I'll put in a word with the Marsboard folks to see about getting this into their standard Debian image.
