I use:
- ubuntu 10.04
- xen 4.0.1
- 2.6.32 pvops kernel
- lvm OR lvm+drbd (tried both) in dom0
- configured domU disk with "phy"
- pv-on-hvm drivers in domU (xen-blkfront etc...)

After I resized the volume (with the domU running) I got a kernel
message in the domU saying that a disk resize was detected.

The disk was now bigger, but the partition on that disk must still be
adjusted.
