Contains information about storage policies and volumes defined in the [server configuration](../../engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree.md#table_engine-mergetree-multiple-volumes_configure).
Columns:
-`policy_name` ([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Name of the storage policy.
-`volume_name` ([String](../../sql-reference/data-types/string.md)) — Volume name defined in the storage policy.
-`volume_priority` ([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — Volume order number in the configuration, the data fills the volumes according this priority, i.e. data during inserts and merges is written to volumes with a lower priority (taking into account other rules: TTL, `max_data_part_size`, `move_factor`).
-`disks` ([Array(String)](../../sql-reference/data-types/array.md)) — Disk names, defined in the storage policy.
-`max_data_part_size` ([UInt64](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — Maximum size of a data part that can be stored on volume disks (0 — no limit).
-`move_factor` ([Float64](../../sql-reference/data-types/float.md)) — Ratio of free disk space. When the ratio exceeds the value of configuration parameter, ClickHouse start to move data to the next volume in order.
-`prefer_not_to_merge` ([UInt8](../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md)) — Value of the `prefer_not_to_merge` setting. When this setting is enabled, merging data on this volume is not allowed. This allows controlling how ClickHouse works with slow disks.
