Actually shred works fine on ext3 in default configurations, i.e. as long as you are only doing 'writeback' of data, meaning that filesystem metadata is journalled but file contents metadata is not. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 and in particular http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Talk:Shred
