This is what I always use and recommend. It doesn't have any side effects with modern software versions, except with layered

I have tried this, but I don't see how to grow the guest file system without restarting the guest:
- if I grow the underlying logical volume on the host, the guest still
see the hard drive with the old size (checking with fdisk)
- if I would add additional logical volumes (host) / drives (guest) in
order to add them to the guest volume group, I will have to restart the guest
I am using virtio disks.
Is there a command so that the guest notices that its harddrive has grown? Is there a way to add new drives without restarting the guest?
yes, you can add / remove disks to a VM without restarting the guest. look at the xm block-attach / block-detach commands
