​Yes, it is. It would take some effort to not have it behave that way.

I'd suggest you try to supply more details if you want others to help you
figure out either where you went wrong or what you are mis-understanding.
The actual commands you use, and how you obtained PostgreSQL, would be a
good place to start. Detailing the file system hierarchy as it stands
wouldn't hurt either.
