NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (rk_gmac-dwmac): transmit queue 0 timed out

[crosser]

This happened out of the blue, without indication of anything else being wrong. I just noticed that NFS stalled, and realized that the server is not on the network. The system on the box was running fine, but there were no lights on the network connector (it is connected with the upper, 1Gb, adapter). I replugged the cable into the 2.5G socket and it went online. Then I powered the box off and on again, with the cable in the 1G socket, and it came online normally.

This is what I found in dmesg/syslog:

Hi @crosser, what Armbian version do you use?

Could elaborate what did you do with the NFS? Maybe you were doing big file transfer.

Cannot really "elaborate" what I am doing with NFS, I just use it lol!  There was no special excessive data transfer at the time, to the best of my knowledge. And it was just one such occurrence so far, since I am using the device. It's not a problem for me (so far at least), I simply thought that it would be right to report.
