NetApp's fsck is (or at least was, at one time) "wack" which is surely the easiest to pronounce.

Yeah, "wafl_check" indeed used to be "wack." I don't know the story behind the name change, but it seems likely that either the pronunciation was too confusing ("You want me to whack the file system? Are you crazy?"), or someone performed a humor-ectomy after NetApp got really successful.
