Yes, the above is correct. I have several soft links from /home/user/Desktop [Documents/Video/etc] pointing to the zfs data disk. Thus, all user data is on the zfs data disk, and no user data is on the Solaris nor Linux install disk.
I have deleted /home/user/Desktop [Documents/Video/etc] folders, and replaced them with soft links, pointing to the zfs data disk.
The problem is that when I boot up Solaris, it cannot find the standard directories Desktop/Documents/Video/etc. This takes a long time as Solaris tries to mount all these folders but fail.
I guess Desktop/Documents/Video/etc all are standard folders that must be mounted upon boot. Maybe if I instead don't touch the folders Desktop/Documents/Video/etc and instead create /personal_files which is a soft link, Solaris will not be struggling. Maybe I am not supposed to touch Desktop/Documents/etc.

NAME
File::HomeDir::Windows - Find your home and other directories on Windows
SYNOPSIS
use File::HomeDir;
# Find directories for the current user (eg. using Windows XP Professional)
$home = File::HomeDir->my_home; # C:Documents and Settingsmylogin
$desktop = File::HomeDir->my_desktop; # C:Documents and SettingsmyloginDesktop
$docs = File::HomeDir->my_documents; # C:Documents and SettingsmyloginMy Documents

$videos = File::HomeDir->my_videos; # C:Documents and SettingsmyloginMy DocumentsMy Video
$data = File::HomeDir->my_data; # C:Documents and SettingsmyloginLocal SettingsApplication Data
DESCRIPTION
This module provides Windows-specific implementations for determining common user directories. In normal usage this module will always be
used via File::HomeDir.
Internally this module will use Win32::GetFolderPath to fetch the location of your directories. As a result of this, in certain unusual
situations (usually found inside large organisations) the methods may return UNC paths such as "\cifs.localhome$".
If your application runs on Windows and you want to have it work comprehensively everywhere, you may need to implement your own handling
for these paths as they can cause strange behaviour.
For example, stat calls to UNC paths may work but block for several seconds, but opendir() may not be able to read any files (creating the
appearance of an existing but empty directory).
To avoid complicating the problem any further, in the rare situation that a UNC path is returned by "GetFolderPath" the usual -d validation
checks will not be done.
