A few days ago I was playing some game, then I turned of my PS3 and also pressed the physical button on the back to "disable" the electricity.

Today I turned on the PS3 and I got the information "rebuilding database". Then I verified I lost everything - every .pkg, saved game, games saved on internal and all data associated. The only thing that still have are the trophies.

The stranger thing is that I only have 30 GB free (altough it looks like the ps3 suffered an hard reset - I still have KMEAW CFW obviously).

AFAIK a database rebuild is not supposed to erase game data. Even if so, it's not normal to have only 30 GB free (of 80GB) on a "clean" PS3.

What do you think?

EDIT: Just tried to install Multiman, altough I got installation sucessfull (or something) nothing appears on my Games XMB tab. What is happening? Looks like everything is there, but I can't reach it!

EDIT2: Just rebooted my PS3, and now it's rebuilding database again... I can't stop it! And I still can't reach the installed data nor install nothing!

EDIT3: After 4 forced rebuilds, I finally boot my PS3 without rebuilding, and get all my data again....

Anyone can explain what happened?

I assume that data on your PS3 became corrupt. Did you switch off your ps3 via the PS menu or via game mini-menu?

Had thunderstorm yesterday and we had a black-out while playing UC3. Turned my PS3 back on and it requested to undergo a file system rebuild (i know it's not the same as yours).

That's the only thing i can think of. It's fixed now right?

I turned off the PS3 properly. It's strange. But yes, it's working now.

So did you retrieve all your lost data? The Same happened to me just now. If you did get your data back, please tell how.
