After alot of research and running of our own servers we seem time and time again with yum and up2date and even rpm updates with the following error

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /bin/tar: cpio: rename failed

even when you logged in root and see the same issue

to solve this message logged in as root run the following command

chattr -ais

for example:

chattr -ais /bin/tar

now run yum upgrade or RPM

if you still have issues just leave comments and i will find an solution for you!
