Look for something that sets the variable named PS1 and, possibly,
PROMPT_COMMAND.  The definition and use of these variables can be found in
the man page for your shell (probably bash).  If you find the variable, you
might not even need to look at the man page.  It might be obvious what is
generating the "@tvawter-pb4" part.

This is probably, "@\h".  that's what it is on mine.  It doesn't seem likely
that this happened as a result of mounting a drive, though.
