Title:
  vmdk to cqow2 invalid VMDK image descriptor

Status in QEMU:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Greetings,

  CentOS 7.5.1804
  Linux 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 
  qemu-img version 3.0.50 (v3.0.0-614-g19b599f)

  When trying to convert a vmdk flat file to qcow2 format, I get the following 
error message:
  qemu-img: Could not open './sk-R12-flat.vmdk': invalid VMDK image descriptor

  The command line used is
  root@s11kvm:/home/goinfre> qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 
./sk-R12-flat.vmdk ./sk-R12-flat.qcow2

  
  "file sk-R12-flat.vmdk" returns:
  sk-R12-flat.vmdk: x86 boot sector;
  GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, boot drive 0x80, 1st sector
