I've set the buffersizes to 20Mb now which didn't change the behavior. The cluster node on which the application is deployed still shows the last line in the logs: 3:56:53,880 INFO [EARDeployer] Started J2EE application: file:/opt/jboss/jboss-4.2.0.CR1/server/node/farm/kusssdemo.ear | 13:56:53,883 INFO [ClusterFileTransfer] Start push of file kusssdemo.ear to cluster. However is it really necessary to adopt the size of the buffer with the deployed application archive? So if I have a 30Mb ear-file does the buffer have to be 30Mb? This seems a bit wierd for me.
