   ##### SUMMARY
   <!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
   Currently, the 'qemu-img convert' auto detects the source disk format while converting to another disk format when creating a volume/template/snapshot. Sometimes, when auto detect the source disk format is not possible, or source disk format is explicitly passed, it is required to specify the source disk format in 'qemu-img convert' cmd for the conversion.
   
   ##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE

   For new features, show how the feature would be used.

   <!-- You can also paste gist.github.com links for larger files -->
   
   ##### EXPECTED RESULTS
   <!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
   
   Enable 'qemu-img convert' to take the source disk format if necessary.
   
   
   ##### ACTUAL RESULTS
   <!-- What actually happened? -->
   
   Unable to specify the source disk format to 'qemu-img convert' while converting to another disk format (when creating a volume/template/snapshot.)
