I'm curious about something. Would this method be as effective with a

even shredding the disk may not work in that case. Didn't understand why
not though if the entire disk is wiped. The journal has to be somewhere
on the disk, right?

Shredding data files may not remove the data on journaled filesystems.
If you do it to the base device like hda, then you should be wiping out
the journals as well.
