Thank you Richard,

Did it !! :)

Did the thing with a little patience

moved the users from /home to /opt

Then did

zfs set mountpoint=/home  homedata/home

usermod to new home

# pwd

/home/{user}

earlier it was not.

Also created a new user, worked fine. Earlier 'cd /home' would take me
to old directory.

Thank you
