I wanted to post an update for information only, in case this happens to
someone else. I am not asking for any resolution or work to be done! ;)

I upgraded to PcP6, and in fact we just got a new ISP in the area, which
I switched to. I have a pcp6 as a LMS server only, with a 2TB USB HDD as
storage.

The problem is frequent power failures - symptoms after failure - no
time screen saver on touch, wrong time on radio, boom, RP FLAC
interactive won't stream. Recovery was not as simple as rebooting, it
involved unmounting and remounting HDD, rescan, restore favorites, etc.
LMS on Windows never did this, PcP must handle this exception
differently.

Anyhow, when setting up Pcp, I moved cache and prefs to the HDD. Based
on thoughts on this and other threads, I decided to try keeping cache
and prefs on the SD.

Yesterday we had another power failure (we have 6-10 a summer). When
power was restored, same symptoms. However, with cache and prefs on the
SD, it was a simple shutdown re-power of pcp and viola! everything is
fine.

The pcp setup instructions say to move the cache and prefs to HDD, so I
did it. Now that I understand what that really means, the best solution
for me is to keep it on the SD
