Not really. Somehow your PV is defined to be bigger than the disk it is currently on. Ways this can happen include the /dev/sdc partition table getting changed incorrectly, deliberately overriding the device size when creating it, restoring from metadata backups incorrectly or using 'dd' to copy device metadata. > Any ideas on how to solve this ? You need to start by reviewing your /dev/sdc partition table and making sure all space on there is accounted for in partitions in the way you expect: How big is sdc? Where and how big are sdc1 and sdc2? Is there any space on the disk not included in sdc1/2/3 ?
