Can someone give me some insight on why the update time is about 26 days ago??

I believe that's the time your raid superblock was last updated.

Does that mean that my md0 is not being updated instantaneously?

How long did you wait after the copy? Unless you have the file system mounted with the "sync" option, it will be buffered for performance reasons. Try running "sync" in a shell and then looking in the directories again
