Public bug reported:

I have a external USB harddisk with the following partitions:
1) ext3 (ca. 50 GB)
2) vfat (20 GB)

When I plug this drive in I can only write to the vfat partintion as a normal 
user.
The ext3 partition can only be mounted read-only.

There's also been a question on Answers:

But the solution found there is merely a workaround.

Note that I have another 160GB ext3 drive which mounts without problems
and gives write access.
