The sheetrock in the ceiling over my dining room has developed a crack. The
crak has begun 'running' across the ceiling. Would appreciate suggestions
as to how to stop the crack from running further (drill a small 'stop' hole
maybe) and to effect a repair .

thanks for any helpful suggestions.

I'm not drywall expert, but it seems to be that if the crack is at a
tape line, you need to support the drywall better at that point by
driving in a few screws, then use some fiberglass tape and mud it up.
