Make HD's Bigger

Once bitten, twice cautious.

My last post was very successful.  That makes Stefano the hero of the week BTW.

Here is my second question:  in the RAID wiki it says to issue these commands when you increase the size of a HD:
Quote
mdadm --grow /dev/md2 --size=max
pvresize /dev/md2
lvresize -l +100%FREE main/root
ext2online -C0 /dev/main/root

So do I enter them on the CLI one at a time, hitting enter at the end of each line or can I cut and paste the whole petunia at one shot??

Wad du u say??

I paste multiple commands into the command line frequently and they always work OK.

Some of the commands you refer to, take some time to complete, so it may be advantageous for you to execute each command seperately to observe progress.
