You can determine the filetype of the downloaded file with file utility.



It reports:




$ file Debian_Jessie_for_Netgear_Stora_MS2000_MS2110+Kernel-4.2.5.xz 
Debian_Jessie_for_Netgear_Stora_MS2000_MS2110+Kernel-4.2.5.xz: gzip compressed data, last modified: Fri Nov 6 13:45:21 2015, from Unix



So the file is really gzip compressed and you need to rename it to .gz and extract with gunzip:



mv Debian_Jessie_for_Netgear_Stora_MS2000_MS2110+Kernel-4.2.5.xz Debian_Jessie_for_Netgear_Stora_MS2000_MS2110+Kernel-4.2.5.gz
gunzip Debian_Jessie_for_Netgear_Stora_MS2000_MS2110+Kernel-4.2.5.gz


As the result you will get unpacked ext4 file:



$ file Debian_Jessie_for_Netgear_Stora_MS2000_MS2110+Kernel-4.2.5
Debian_Jessie_for_Netgear_Stora_MS2000_MS2110+Kernel-4.2.5: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=33dbfa63-f902-4501-b0bc-da04484525b2 (extents) (large files) (huge files)


I can even mount it:




$ sudo mount -o loop Debian_Jessie_for_Netgear_Stora_MS2000_MS2110+Kernel-4.2.5 /mnt/
$ head -n1 /mnt/etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)"

  • I ran this mount command on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system. Here it was mounted without -t. But you can try to pass -t ext4 manually. Check the options of your mount command.
