Some tips:
- Try breaking your message into smaller sentences with full stops.
- Do not try to use X, it's useless for you.

Since you see the command line environment:
zfs list | grep home

Do you see /export/home/x as a separate entry ?

rpool/export/home                           10.7G  52.1G  10.6G  /export/home
rpool/export/h...@install                   88.5K      -   154K  -

That's what I see on my system - I have /export/home which belongs to
the pool called rpool. I do not have a separate home directory for my
user "sriram". That is, /export/home contains "sriram", "abcd",
"demouser", etc. These are separate home directories, but they are
folders and not individual file systems.

Is that what you have ?

Please reply, and hopefully, someone else will respond to your reply.
It's 2:30 am in my time zone, and I'm going to sleep now.

Keep those tips in mind !
