I've created a file and formated it.

# fallocate -l 1g /foo.img
# mkfs -t ext4 /foo.img

I can mount it using

# mount /foo.img /bar

But how can I make it permanent?

Stick it in /etc/fstab; you don't need the UUID bit, just specify the path directly. – muru Jul 18 '17 at 08:05
Also may add Your mount command to /etc/crontab: @reboot root mount /foo.img /bar – NoAngel Jul 18 '17 at 08:13
Neither UUID nor path works. Every time I reboot my machine, I enter the emergency mode. – Aetherus Jul 18 '17 at 08:22
