ReiserFS and shred

[Ole Sebastian Stein <osstein@stud.ntnu.no>]

I wanted to shred some files on my ReiserFS partition.  But then I saw
the message on the bottom of the --help printout saying:

------------
CAUTION: Note that shred relies on a very important assumption:
that the filesystem overwrites data in place.  This is the traditional
way to do things, but many modern filesystem designs do not satisfy this
assumption.  The following are examples of filesystems on which shred is
not effective:

* log-structured or journaled filesystems, such as those supplied with
  AIX and Solaris (and JFS, ReiserFS, XFS, etc.)
                            ^^^^^^^^

So, how do I go about shredding (or something similar) a file on my
ReiserFS-partition?
