Only one of the seams in the ceiling cracked. Looks like a bad taping job when the house was built. The joints where the ceiling meets the house are all good.

In my Lanai i had a couple of hairline cracks in a couple of ceiling seams so we caulked it with Lighthouse Products Elastomeric Gun Grade Patching Compound Kover Krack, then painted. The folks at Sherwin Williams recommended it. It's mainly used to fill cracks in exterior stucco but it's an exterior and interior product and should be good for both. They said although the crack will eventually come back, this product should last many years. It's a textured caulk so it fills and covers well. After painting you can't see the cracks but i'll let you know how long it actually lasts.
