I would have showed more but the large message was rejected due to
size. But there wasn't anything more clueful than the logs I showed.
It's not terribly important. It was just an oddity. Because Postfix
is so very reliable that it was unusual to see on two systems it had
stopped. But again it is very unusual to have the root file system
blocking for so long.
it's still possible that:
- postfix was killed by e.g. OOM killer, in which case it could not log
that.
- the logs were lost because of systemd's log limits
there are multiple lined of postfix/master.
it also could be systemd restarting postfix and giving up after some time
