How To Mount A Drive In Linux
Initially you wanna check the hard drives on your system
fdisk -l
so now you now whats being seen by the system
Command Line
mount /dev/partitionId /some/mounting/point
for example
mount /dev/sdb /backup
The mounting point path must already be created with proper permissions. So a more likely flow of commands would be below:
Command Line
mkdir /some/mounting/point
chmod 777 /some/mounting/point
mount /dev/partitionId /some/mounting/point
for example:
mkdir /backup
chmod 777 /backup
mount /dev/sdb /backup
Now you just need to add the addon hard drive into fstab to be booted on startup as well
nano /etc/fstab
How To Unmount A Drive In Linux
Command Lineumount /dev/partitionId
This command is very easy to type wrong. It is NOT unmount. Take another closer look if thats what you saw at first. It is umount -- no n here!

Here are the simple steps to downgrade the database (this should only be done on a new server without any account on it yet)

If you have issues with cPanel running CentOS5 with BIND then the easiest way is to downgrade BIND to 9.2.4
The reason you're having trouble is because CentOS 5 uses bind-9.3 and CentOS 4 uses bind-9.2 - The changes between these versions is significant enough that cPanel won't work with it properly.
For instance by default there is no /etc/named.conf file created when bind-9.3 is installed and the default named.conf file for bind-9.3 is significantly different than in older versions.
Until the code is updated to work with bind-9.3, I have found the workaround to be to remove bind-9.3 packages and install bind-9.2 packages as follows:
