I just got the following information from a fellow who used to work for Ciprico. Hope this helps.
The Ciprico/Huge Media Vault product line was purchased by a company called One Stop Systems – http://www.onestopsystems.com <https://www.onestopsystems.com> . You should be able to reach them at (877) 438-2724. Dot Hill Systems only purchased Ciprico’s RAIDCore software so unfortunately we cannot provide much help with Media Vault issues. One Stop Systems has all of the Ciprico firmware release so they should be able to get you the code.
I used to work at Ciprico so I can tell you that your statements in your email are true, you do need to upgrade to the latest Media Vault firmware to run on Leopard.
