Yes, because we create the volume before using qemu-img convert.

But we also need to specify it to qemu-img convert, as auto-detection of the target volume format don't work.
(I have tried, creating a .qcow2 file, qemu-img convert override it with raw format is no format specified)

In my patches, I have a qm move api for storage migration, which reuse a common clone_disk{}.(using qemu-img convert offline or drive-mirror online)

applied. 

Btw, your clone patches have the feature to set the format for each drive. 
Do we really need that? 

I mean, we want to be able to copy a single disk from one location to another, 
and change the disk format on that action. 

But is this related to VM copy. 

Maybe it is enough to have an extra API for that (migrate_disk)?
