There is no supported way and have been no reports of anyone's forcing
it to happen so far. I think you should buy the third drive.
If you can find a small drive laying around, here is another option
that might work, but you could lose the whole pool due to some
miscalculation or another mistake:
1. make a new, small 1-drive zpool on the small drive
2. make a 1TB zvol on the small zpool, without reservation (zfs
create -Vs). so the zvol is larger than the pool.
3. 'zpool replace' the mostly-empty disk with the sparse zvol. wait
for resilver.
you can tell which disk is mostly empty using 'zpool iostat -v'.
4. create a new zpool on the just-freed 1TB drive
5. rsync from 2TB zpool onto 1TB zpool, another 3 days
6. destroy the old 2TB zpool. 'zpool attach' the freed 1TB drive to
the new zpool.
untested, YMMV.
