Deeply frustrating. Manual mounting is possible, with DiskManger bypass; but media server remains broken as a result.
Can the update be removed?

I would not expect a fix from Apple since it is the third party vendor & developer who are responsible for making sure their third party app works with macOS. @PachisCruz's post later in this thread even proves that the problem is with the manufacturer's third party driver since after uninstalling the manufacturer's driver and rebooting, @PachisCruz was able to read the NTFS drive which shows that macOS is functioning fine and it is just the manufacturer's driver that has the problem. Of course macOS does not have native built-in write support for NTFS volumes, but at least the NTFS volumes can be read after uninstalling the drive manufacturer's software. See @PachisCruz's specific post I referenced here:
NTFS external drives won't mount after se… - Apple Community
This is why most contributors on these forums recommend against using the manufacturer's proprietary software for managing drives because the proprietary third party drivers may break after a macOS update and users will need to wait until the third party developer fixes the problem (if they even do so). Using a native built-in file system included by default with macOS is always the safest and most reliable option.
Thanks, that did it. Took 3 tries for some reason - I didn't find any typos - but it finally worked.
i did it and... wonderbar!!! it works! thanks guy!!!! will wait until apple give us a new patch for this bug! thanks again!
Excelent!! very helpful
I have the Problem that my Xternal drive Formatted to NTFS for media server . When i mount in Catalina dives mount (read only) even though it shows the correct permissions for to read write.
I did the command to mount my ext hd and it was working but... i reboot my mac and forced to do it again 'cause the ext Hd didn't mount again... is this problem happened on «Big» too?
I'll try! thanks a lot!
Sorry, no, it didn't happen to me. Maybe @hwtech knows?
The heck with the work around. Apple needs to take responsibility and fix this issue.
I have tried using the Terminal, but can only get a read-only mounting that way. Has anyone here been more successful?
I had r/w/e access to my disk; had you login as superuser or root before???
Very unhappy with apple that they did this. I have many NTFS drives and now cannot write to. They should fix in the next update.
Thank you! it works for me!
Yes, indeed, bug is fixed. Mounting works again. In respect to Paragon also with slightly older versions than the recent ly published version
Link appears to be gone now. What were the workaround steps?
Amazing, thank you! I will update tonight!
NTFS external drives won't mount after security update 2021-003 (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49221.)
