Just turning off update notifications will prevent the NAS from advertising 6.10.10 when you log into the admin web ui.
- Go to System->Settings
- Expand "Update" if needed.
- Uncheck "Notifications for updates" in the second column of the update section.

I am awared there is such an option, but i would like to know, where is version info store.. if file, or mysql database. Running MySQL along with PHPMyAdmin gave me access probably to NAS sql database in the very same moment and files i can search or search content.. would you know or could specify pls, how ReadyNAS OS version info is stored?
How the OS itself handles version and version info in webadmin page? .. meanwhile im going to look on webadmin files content. 🙂

I've never tried to hack the version info, so I do not know the implications of attempting it.
Also, I see no need to hack it, since there is a simple way to block an inadvertant update.

What Debian components are missing from 6.10.10? I've never gone to it except on a sandbox system.

Just cosmetic ReadyNAS change for peace in mind. No hack, just edit. Pretty smart solution for me. 🙂 Idk which components but it was mentioned here, with no apps webpage etc, there is reduced size and more lightweight sharpened debian too.
Sometimes we say.. "wolf has eaten, goat remained whole.." 🙂
Altough i dont recommend this, i have found in /etc/ these two following files os_version and os-release and by editing one line in vi text editor, changing version number from 6.10.9 to 6.10.10. And it works! Voila.

1 Little problem is.. one of my installed apps, shown in apps tab, doesnt appear in main page - NAS webadmin dashboard. Would you know, how to fix it? I tried touch config.xml and touch .localapp in app directory.
2 And regarding updates check, currently on my NAS does not work. I click search update, and get error message about could not reach server, because connection or dns fail. Altough all is working. I have checked, correct ip, and gate to internet, no blocked dns domains, i dont know how to fix it
3 One of apps from apps webpage dashboard does not display on ReadyOS intro dashboard webpage.How do i fix this? i have tried touch config.xml and .localapps.
