Hello,
for data synchronize reasons I need to have a home directory under /home/<username>
which needs to be a real or mounted path (must not contain symbolic links). But / is only a
small RAM disk. How can I use space from the local HDD for /home/<username>? Of cause
this is possible with a large file and lofi, but I do not like to use this for performance
reasons. Is it somehow possible through ZFS to mount something on /home?

First of all you're going to be fighting against SmartOS to have it
re-add <username> to /etc/passwd or getting it to configure LDAP on each
reboot.
That said, you could easily do:
"zfs create -o mountpoint=/home zones/home && zfs create
zones/home/<username>"
If this is a single machine for home use and you're staying aware that
you're using SmartOS in a way that is inconsistent with it's design,
that's one thing. If you're planning on doing this on a whole fleet of
production machines that run your business I would first rethink your
design and try to find a way more in keeping with the way SmartOS was
designed.
