Are you sure you have created your partition with SUSE? Because if you have, the check interval will always be set as I've never experienced partitions created by SUSE to not have a check interval.

I didn't think so too, but I just looked at a 11.1 EXT3 superblock with tune2fs -l, and this is part of the result.

There are two types of check counters in EXT3, a max mount count and a check interval. Both can be enabled or disabled separately.
However I do know that openSUSE does check from time to time and I don't know at the moment how or where it forces that check. Maybe someone with time to kill can look through the startup scripts and work it out.
