Sure: qemu-img info rbd:mypool/:mon_host=192.168.15.180

'image' is technically present in the options, but it is an empty string.

My thought was that it'd be nice to throw a similar error message for an
empty string for 'image'.  As it is, the rbd library catches it, so it isn't
catastrophic, but a nicer message would be helpful.

(My comment here assumes an empty string is not an acceptable image name for
rbd)
