I believe that the time out you're referring to is:

'mon osd down out interval', which defaults to 300 seconds.

http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/mon-config-ref/

Also, if you're concerned about the time it takes to reboot a machine (sans fsck) then you may
want to consider using something like kexec (kexec-tools package in Debian/Ubuntu).
