It looks like it's interference from systemd here. The problem is easily reproduced by putting '-t 0' into pg_ctl.conf: ● postgresql@10-main.service - PostgreSQL Cluster 10-main Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/postgresql@.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2017-11-11 21:10:56 CET; 9ms ago Process: 17946 ExecStop=/usr/bin/pg_ctlcluster --skip-systemctl-redirect -m fast 10-main stop (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 18000 ExecStart=postgresql@10-main --skip-systemctl-redirect 10-main start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 17878 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Nov 11 21:10:55 lehmann systemd[1]: Starting PostgreSQL Cluster 10-main...

In other words, systemd will by default stop a service that fails to start. I'm investigating if it's a good idea to tell systemd to ignore the exit code of pg_ctl(cluster). Possibly moving to Type=notify is the best solution, but not all majors support that yet. Will report back once I have a solution.
