I was trying to make a USB boot loader for Yosemite using this command
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled 2 --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction
I borrowed it from the original
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite.app --nointeraction
Which has worked for tons of people. The issue is for some reason it doesn't recognize the name of my volume is Untitled 2.
Error message:
/Volumes/Untitled is not a valid volume mount point.
I don't understand why it isn't reading the 2. Is there another way to point the command to the partition without using the names given e.g. serial addressing?

Change
to
or
and it should work.
You have to escape spaces in paths in the command line either with a
\
or quotation marks.
