You might look at sys-fs/e2fsprogs and the tune2fs command

I think you could use tune2fs to set the check interval for a specific partition.
from man tune2fs:
| Quote: | -i interval-between-checks[d|m|w]
Adjust the maximal time between two filesystem checks. No postfix or d result in days, m in months, and w in weeks. A value of zero will dis‐
able the time-dependent checking.
It is strongly recommended that either -c (mount-count-dependent) or -i (time-dependent) checking be enabled to force periodic full e2fsck(
checking of the filesystem. Failure to do so may lead to filesystem corruption (due to bad disks, cables, memory, or kernel bugs) going unno‐
ticed, ultimately resulting in data loss or corruption. |
So you should be careful when changing the check intervals. For more information have a look at the man page.

| tune2fs did the trick. I thought there was a fstab way to do this, but tune2fs was pretty painless. |
