understanding free -m output
 
I don't understand how come shared memory is bigger than total memory. Is this normal? Or is it a bug?

Code:
free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  available
Mem:          2048        1817        230        2910          0        230
Swap:          2048        748        1299

Hi:

I ran the free -m cmd on my system to see and my shared is smaller than total memory-

Code:
free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache  available
Mem:          3940        1275        1937          38        727        2248
Swap:          2047          0        2047
bash-4.3$
Not sure if it's a bug or not.
