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 slowly, so the router/internet was likely available. To the thread, my SD has survived maybe 10 power cuts while LMS was playing.

Re: [slim] SD card unreadable after power cut
I never know how to answer threads like this. I have been using Raspberry Pi's/LMS and piCorePlayer for 7 years and can't remember one suddenly stop working. What am I doing wrong? I have one pCP that I deliberately turn on and off every day, just to prove that you can. Many, many years ago I had to reformat a SD card, but that happened only once and wasn't a result of a power failure, just me doing something I shouldn't. Oh, I always used SanDisk from Officeworks!

When running LMS on piCorePlayer, this is one reason for putting the database on a separate partition. And while the database partition might get corrupted, at least the system will still boot. There is a fsck mechanism in pCP (Undocumented). Adding forcefsck to the command line will cause the root file system to be checked. I may end up adding this to any system running LMS, but for those using player features only, this just slows down the boot process. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

Re: [slim] SD card unreadable after power cut
Hi Jouteur, When you say you can't connect to Pi after a power fail... is that connect to LMS on the Pi? or piCorePlayer on the Pi? If it's piCorePlayer then I'd suspect your card, but you could try stopping LMS and shutting down piCorePlayer and then power cycle to see if it survives that, if not then I'd definitely be looking at trying a different card. If it's just LMS that stops working, then it's not unusual for LMS database and cache to get corrupted by a power fail, my sister's setup suffers from this because she has a whole house RCD mains protector that trips rather too keenly. In her case we can normally get back in via ssh and pCP web interface to delete the Db and cache files and start again without re-flashing the card. I can't say for sure, but I think I've seen somewhere on the forum that having a USB thumb drive on the Pi with LMS cache and Db files moved onto it is more reliable, perhaps because it's an external drive the data gets written out to the usb stick rather than cached in memory.
