I assume that all of the disks are to be shredded. Shredding non-system disks wouldn't be difficult enough to ask about. If you shred a mounted filesystem, the kernel will probably panic if it tries to read from the filesystem after shred starts overwriting data.

You wouldn't be able to do that once shred had run.
