This is similar to my situation. Utility power that fails frequently, when it is restored LMS on the pCP not working. When I had the LMS data on my attached HDD, on power restore pCP would not find the HDD, so it could not run LMS (at least that was my assumption). I had to go into pCP UI and unmount and mount the HDD, then start LMS. Since then I have been told you can extend the time that pCP waits for HDD spin up, maybe that would have helped, didn't try it. I have since moved the LMS data to the SD, on a third partition. When the power restores, LMS isn't running, but I simply have to restart pCP from the UI, so it's a fairly easy restore that I can live with it. But I can't help but think that it has something to do with the fact that the router/internet is slow to come on line on power restore, and pCP can't find it initially. I say this because this never happened with LMS on Windows, but we all know that Windows boots slooooowly, so the router/internet was likely available. To the thread, my SD has survived maybe 10 power cuts while LMS was playing.
