FAT32 supports a maximum of 2 TB for a sector size of 512 bytes and 16 TB for a sector size of 4,096 bytes (although this microsoft knowledge base article naturally contradicts this by saying that the maximum disk size is 8TB...
It's only Windows 2000 onwards that restricted fat32 to 32GB, and then only in the gui... you can format larger drives as fat32 from the command line format tool. Part of their push for the fancy new NTFS file system.
And why the questions about OTG? The pine64 has two normal USB2 sockets on it... it doesn't need to have USB OTG via a microUSB adapter!
There is a *possibility* that the extra connectors on the USB3 lead are being shorted when plugged into the pine64, which is causing the shutdown (since your drive is externally powered so load on the pine64's power management chip / power supply isn't an issue). It looks like you would be able to use a normal USB2 USB A to B lead on it.. maybe that is worth a try?
I just tried an externally powered Seagate Expansion Drive (4TB USB3) with a NTFS file system and didn't have any issues. If you issue a 'dmesg | tail' command immediately after connecting the drive... what do you get? I was able to mount, see the contents of and u(n)mount the drive without any issues.
