I take it, then, that you've either never heard of logrotate or have
some reason not to use it.

What would be the relevance of logrotate here?



You do know what it does, don't you? Just to be sure, it keeps your system from being buried under a mass of old logfiles by rotating them from current to compressed archive to gone. That means that when your hardware is working fine, all of the old data from mcelog goes away, but there's enough kept for you to search it for signs of trouble if you think you need to. (On a side note, waiting until you think your hardware's getting flaky before starting it isn't always a good idea, because unless you're lucky you probably won't have time to collect and examine the data before it's too late.)

I must admit, however, that I've begun to wonder why I'm bothering because you've clearly made up your mind that you don't need mcelog running and have no intention of admitting that there might be reasons to have it active. If so, do as you wish and stop bothering the rest of us. Or, if I'm wrong, stop rejecting everything everybody says without even bothering to examine it, as you've been doing ever since you started this thread.
