That will probably work.  I had a similar problem a bit
ago where suddenly my drives were too small, causing the UNAVAIL
corrupted-data problem.  I managed to fix it by using gconcat to stitch
an extra MB of space from the boot drive onto it.  Not a very good solution,
but the best I found until FreeBSD gets shrink support (which sadly seems
like it may be a long while)

Failing that, you could use OpenSolaris to import it (as it does have minimal
support for opening mismatched sized vdevs), copy the data off, destroy, and restore.
