No. DF shows the file system size and utilization.
RTFM

<quote>
df displays the amount of disk space available on the file system
containing each file name argument.

You you have a 359G file system on a 670G physical partition.
Seems silly but makes sense.

I dunno about XFS sine I use ext3/4 and resiserFS, both of which can be
grown, the latter on a live system.

But then I don't go for such huge root file systems either and use LVM
where grwing and shrinking a FS is pretty normal.

Try xfs_growfs
I found that by reading the XFS man page.
RTFM first
