Postgres 10.7 Systemd Startup Issue

Hello,
We're attempting to launch postgres via systemd and noticing that when invoking via systemctl start postgres.service the prompt never returns. If we switch to another tty and check the status it shows as:

Active: activating (start) since Thu 2019-06-06 09:36:32 EDT; 12min ago

If we change the type from notify to forking we see the same behavior. The instance seems to be up and running just fine, we just never see the active (running) status as we have come to expect.

We're running on top of a stock SLES12 SP3. Could someone assist in tracking down why this service isn't transitioning to the active state?

Thanks,
Kevin Kelly
