[19.07.3] Trying to make lvm work -> "Incompatible libdevmapper"

For Developers
1

I have a OK1046A-C from Forlinx, it has a NXP LS1046A cpu. I am trying to make lvm work on release 19.07.3.
I have a working PCIe SATA controller. I managed to mount partition from a hard drive. My hard drive have two partitions, sda1 (regular partition) and sda2 (lvm partition).

# ls -l /dev/sd*
brw-------    1 root     root        8,   0 May 23 12:56 /dev/sda
brw-------    1 root     root        8,   1 May 23 12:56 /dev/sda1
brw-------    1 root     root        8,   2 May 23 12:56 /dev/sda2

# block info | grep "/dev/sd"
/dev/sda1: UUID="c9e3435a-30af-4cdc-8bfa-c49a60518f8d" TYPE="btrfs"
/dev/sda2: UUID="jHynce-tDaI-47wJ-ebuH-fZ2V-Knk3-tjbC5o" TYPE="LVM2_member"

so far so good. However, all lv are inactive and I cannot activate them.

# lvchange -a y /dev/server/root

Any help will be appreciated :slight_smile:
