Best guess, I would say that you need to increase your dhcpcd timeout.
You are probably not getting a response from your DHCP server in the
time allowed.
You could also try setting up ifplugd. If nothing else, it would allow
your users to reset the network by removing and reinserting the network

Well, you could put the controller in JBOD mode and use software raid.
Linux has rock-solid software raid, at least for what I have used it
for, and it doesn't seem to take a lot of CPU power, even in RAID5. It
will consume a heck of lot more IO (and PCI) bandwidth however.

Just as a sanity check. I get a warm-n-fuzzy feeling seeing my system
