Nico,
Can you please explain why it's better to use LVM partitions in compare to
regular partitions with regards to image management.
   
 
Because you can resize an LVM partition.

Thank you Nico for your tip.
As per your advice I enabled the support for the CPU and now I am able to
use full Virtualization.
I have two more question that I would appreciate your advice:
1) Is there any performance differences between para and full
virtualization ?
2) What is better to create the virtual machine as a separate partition
     
 
or
   
as a file ?
Thanks
Ido
     
 
Yes, para-virtualization is noticeably faster than full virtualization.
And for performance and management reasons, I recommend using LVM based
partitions, not files. But if your system is already built and
configured, that's not always feasible.
