if i decompose the line in two (under SHELL fish):
$ hdiutil attach -nomount ram://204800
/dev/disk4
$ diskutil erasevolume HFS+ RamDisk /dev/disk4
Started erase on disk4
Unmounting disk
Erasing
Initialized /dev/rdisk4 as a 100 MB case-insensitive HFS Plus volume
Mounting disk
Finished
Could that be some non visible characters in the output? Bash and fish
handle ifs differently.
Could you pipe the output of hdiutil to hexdump to see?

may be, because the output of :
hdiutil attach -nomount ram://204800
isn't (for example) :
/dev/disk4
but rather (without the quotes) :
/dev/disk4
that's to say with tens of spaces after /dev/disk4
may be i shoud trim that ?

Yvon,
Backticks are indeed the problem. Simply swap them out for parentheses and
it should work as expected:
diskutil erasevolume HFS+ Ram Disk (hdiutil attach -nomount ram://204800)

same result with parenthesis as back ticks...
