Hi,thanks for the information. I have some other questions:
what is the right way to copy (clone) a vm ? I have one vm which i want to use 
a second time, on the same host, just with another MAC-Address.

And how can i copy a vm to a plain partition (without fs) ? I read this is 
faster than having an image file on a file system.
