Since you're using macOS Catalina why not use APFS instead of HFS+? After all macOS Catalina uses APFS. The following command works for me: diskutil partitionDisk $(hdiutil attach -nomount ram://1048576) 1 GPTFormat APFS 'RAMDisk' '100%' One advantage, while somewhat negligible as a RAM disk, APFS is faster. It also has less initial overhead, e.g. on a 512 MB disk HFS+ already uses 12.6 MB and APFS only uses 25 K. Percentage wise that's a big difference.
