-- This does not interfere with mounting, but the pre-exisiting files in
-- this directory become inaccessible. To see those over-mounted files,
-- please manually mount the underlying file system to a secondary
-- location.

I think your issue is a lot more fundamental than BIND. Have you checked what the files in the mountpoint for / are? Are you able to get a shell after booting the system fails? If so, what's the output of this?

lsblk
uname -a

After creating a new account

How did you create that (user?) account?

the sysadmin is on vacation :-(

Why are you plumbing on a server if you're not the sysadmin...?
