virsh blockresize $domain $disk $size

and then resize the disk in the disk managing utility inside the guest.  I don't
thinkg qemu-guest-agent can do that for you.

Is this at all possible?  Or am I just barking up the wrong tree?  I'm
not finding a way to do this and even Amazon has a weird workaround, in
which the user must write data to the newly resized-drive in order to
recognize the new size without taking the disk or the VM offline.

[Obligatory] YAY Microsoft.
