I'm sorry, but I have issues properly parsing the df output with line
breaks. Are the line breaks in the middle of a number or between? At
least 315 "1MB Blocks" doesn't make sense to me. 315 MB is far too
small for anything to store disk images and the Dom0 operating system
on.

So a few more questions:

Am I right that,
A) /xendomainheinz/ is on the / (root) partiton?
B) df output is the one from the Dom0?

What file system is this on?

There are file systems which automatically compress files or recognize
sparse files without explicitly requesting it. So du and df quite
often differ nowadays.

Especially on btrfs, the common df is known to return mostly bogus
values.

Besides, I think is not a xen-tools but a file system issue.
