Narrative:
Ife system was not functioning. We did a complete shut down and restart. ECAM message came up 'system is shutting down due to bulk avionics smoke.' I called maintenance control and we all agreed to attempt another restart. Second attempt failed and we got the same message. I elected to not continue since I was unsure of the status of the ife problem with smoke.
