If you have a recurring ceiling crack on a plaster ceiling, you may have an undersupported plaster-over-gypsum lathe ceiling system.
If that is the case, your ceiling cannot be fixed with mesh tape and any type of compound or plaster. It needs to be re-secured to the joists.
This type of ceiling ( I have coined the term 'transitional ceilings')has been known to collapse unexpectedly.
I would direct you the the proper page on my website for more information:
