As Tom indicated _body is the name of your drive. The manufacturer or
the last program you ran to place files on the usb gave it that name.

In my case my Fedora 14 liveusb is named FEDORA.
But I am confused by the output you show for the mount command. Compare
it to the output of the mount on my machine.  Where did the >< come from
in your output. Is the name of your usb drive _body><

/dev/sdb1 on /media/FEDORA type vfat
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=500,gid=500,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush)
