What's the sector size of the drive? FAT32 is limited to 2TB with 512-byte sectors. With 2KB sectors, the max volume size is 8TB, with 4KB sectors, the max is 16TB. Note that if you need individual files larger than 1-byte-less-than-4GB, or if you need any form of access control, then FAT is not the solution.
Because of Windows, I'd consider NTFS. On OpenBSD, sysutils/ntfs-3g uses a FUSE implementation, and that is slower than a native filesystem. I have never tried using it with large file systems, so that is something you should test, if you consider NTFS.
