PiCorePlayer - continuing occasional issues

I've posted about similar things before, and was going to post on the
relevant thread on the Hardware forum, but couldn't find it. So here
goes.

In the past I've posted about an odd situation where LMS lost the
library during a long power out, which could be corrected through a full
rescan. 

Today we had a short power out, less than two hours. The UPS that drives
the PCP (and the docked drive and the router) had plenty of juice for
this period of time, and hadn't gotten close to running out when the
power came back. Literally EVERYTHING is plugged into the UPS, including
the "radio", which is what my internet supplier calls the device between
the dish on the roof and the router. The internet was never down.

So, after the power was out I once again lost the PCP system. This time
I not only lost the library, but also the Samba connection. It took two
tries unplugging the PCP and replugging for everything to again be
working. It's possible that it's NOT related to the power situation, or
that the transition from mains to battery power has some sort of bump
that causes the problem. I've not noticed anything like that latter on
my other devices which have their own similar UPSs.

This mystifies me. In general, I had way fewer problems running a little
Windows machine to do this task, and expected months of mindless musical
usage with the PCP. 

Note that the Pi has a SD card for library purposes, that's not on the
drive.

We're in an area (only a few miles from the edge of Toronto) that gets
frequent power outages. I'd prefer not to always be resetting the Pi and
its functions. Any idea what I can do?
