Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.12 kernel[

Zooming in on postfix specifically when /var/spool/postfix is mounted on an overlayfs, postfix goes through the motions of starting but fails silently without logging anything, and /var/log/mail.log remains non- existant. An attempt to reload postfix complains that postfix isn't running: root@smt
