In the days of 4.2X the users home directories were linked from /home/user to another location. Interestingly on OS6, I now see that the home directories are located at "/home" and "/data/home" but there does not appear to be any linkage made? How does this work?

 

Like shares, /data/home is a btrfs subvolume.  /home is a mount point for it.  Similarly /apps is a mount point for /data/.apps

If you enter mounts from ssh you will see this:
/dev/md127 on /home type btrfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,nospace_cache,commit=604800,subvolid=257,subvol=/home)
/dev/md127 on /apps type btrfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,nospace_cache,commit=604800,subvolid=258,subvol=/.apps)
