fsck_hfs, is the File System ChecKer (FSCK) for HFS/HFS+ file systems.
That fact that you have 6 of them visible either means you have 6 disk drives in need of being checked, or something is causing them to be started (maybe you are connecting/disconnecting to an external disk or network volume (such as Time Capsule, or a NAS), and the file system is in need of repair.
If you cannot figure out what disk (or disks) are in trouble, you could try in Activity Monitor, select one of the fsck_hfs processes, click on Activity Monitor -> View -> Inspect Process (or Command-I (as in the letter eye). Then click on the Open Files and Posts tab. Looking through the list of open files you should be able to find the device.
You could also try Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
ps ax | grep fsck_hfs
and see what device is specified on the command line.
Translating the device to a volume might require using Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility and click on each volume listed and see what device Disk Utility says it is.
