Oh! To clarify, my understanding is that the --skip-suspend option shouldn't result in any downtime. It is supposed to *only* snapshot the disk, and not also the live memory contents. The idea being that if you restore a snapshot that has those memory contents (which they do by default), the container will resume *exactly* as it was (memory state included), whereas with --skip-suspend the disk will still be exactly as it was, but when the container comes online it'll be a fresh boot with clean memory contents.
No clue if that is contributing to your storage issue, but it's the only idea I've got left
