rsync - Jan 2013 - Timeout for I/O read errors

Is there any way to tell rsync how much time it has to wait to decide that
a file has got read errors?
It takes forever when copying a lot of files with errors from failing disks.

Thanks

I know the --timeout parameter, but it is intended to abort the copy when
there is an I/O error and what I'm interested in is to continue the copy.

No, it is the OS that determines this.  Rsync issues a read request
then goes into a waiting on IO state until it either gets the data or
an error.
