Have you actually tried this?  In my experience it is not possible.

You may be thinking of online resize of filesystems.  Yes that is
possible in xfs and recent ext3 and others.  But that is unrelated
to changing the size of a block device exported from dom0 to domU,
which is what the original poster's question refers to.

I would be happy to know if this feature has been added.

Cheers,
Andy
