When troubleshooting, reduce as many differences as possible. Your
command in the script and you interactive command are different.
In the script:
diskutil erasevolume HFS+ ramdisk $ramdiskpath
Interactively:
diskutil erasevolume HFS+ ramdisk "/dev/disk1"

Awesome protip Bram!

The problem is the output of `hdiutil` includes trailing spaces and tabs:
$ hdiutil attach -nomount ram://2097152 | od -tx1z
000 2f 64 65 76 2f 64 69 73 6b 36 20 20 20 20 20 20 >/dev/disk6 <

040 20 20 20 20 2
What's the output of that `hdiutil` command? Does that out span multiple
lines?

Perhaps the output of hdiutil attach isn't what you expect. What if you
put "echo -n $ramdiskpath | xxd" in between?
Cheers, Bram

Thanks Diego,
It's definitely not a path issue as the preceding diskutil .
I'm not sure how PATH settings are propagated through functions. One quick
solution would be to just use the full path for all commands (e.g.
/usr/sbin/diskutil).

Hi fisherfolk,
This is a copy-pasta function from my previous zsh setup, on OSX., to
create a ramdisk of X Gb. Unfortunately the final command, diskutil
erasevolume ... fails unless run manually. I've tried sleep 5,
sprinkling quotes, wrapping it in (...) but nada. Any idea why?
