In my case, the NFS traffic is the most heavy type of traffic and it
goes over this "problem" interface. There are 3 NICs present in the
system; one other interface is also driven by e1000, but it's a
different model (82541GI). I have planned to switch the IPs and
functions of some of the NICs to check if the messages would go away,
but didn't find the proper moment yet.

If packets are truncated or lost, any kind of connection would be
disturbed. The NFS issues on the clients are only temporary, the same
operations that spit the 'stale fh' messages work again after some
short time.
