Hi again, I finally found out why it did not work, and how to have it work.
It seems (on both systems I've tried) that options files are read by mysql client, but not by mysql server. Hence, mysql --help reported the value I wanted to set, but mysql server still used the default 1Mbyte value ... don't ask me why :-) running mysqld_safe with --max_allowed_value=8M in the command line did the trick : # mysqladmin -p variables | grep packet Enter password: | max_allowed_packet | 8387584 and sending a bigger file now works, though I can't use an option file to achieve it.
