DietPi v8.9.2 updated with Samba issues?

Did you tried to mount manually from the other Pi as described above?

can you share your configuration again

ls -la /mnt/
cat /etc/fstab
cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
df -h
lsblk -o name,fstype,label,size,ro,type,mountpoint,partuuid,uuid

I would like to replicate your environment if possible.
