Description Thomas Wagner 2023-11-14 07:22:21 UTC 
On Tumbleweed 20231110, mcelog.service fails.

journalctl -u mcelog
```

```

The folder /run/mcelog is missing. IMHO, this folder should be automatically generated by the system.
Comment 1 Thomas Wagner 2023-11-15 12:01:44 UTC 
As pointed out here https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217105
the culprint was wrong ownership of `/` 

For some reason, '/' was owned by me instead of root.
```
chown root /
```
fixed the problem.
