Hello Stefan, first of all thanks for your quick reply.
After a reboot of my machine I wasn't able to reproduce the problem anymore today. I remember my memory usage was above my physical memory size. So I guess it was a memory issue after several standbys. (Thanks to my rolling log appender I still have a stack trace of the error. - attached a file http://old.nabble.com/file/p26157829/log.txt log.txt ) If anybody else has the same problem with storing large blobs although mysql parameter "max_allowed_packet" is correctly set: Here is my advice: Check your memory allocation and if possible try again after a reboot.
