Partition missing and inconsistent partition table

I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on my wife's laptop. Originally there was Win 7 on it and I simply wiped out everything and used the whole disk for Ubuntu. I followed the following guide to create partitions:
How to use manual partitioning during installation?
After I filled the /home/user/... directory with some personal files I received the warning that /root was running out of space.
I checked the space available on the partitions and /home disappeared while /boot dramatically increased (During the installation, I assigned 500 MB to /boot and 230 GB to /home)

What happened here? Or maybe.. what did I do wrong here?
Thank you for your time.

I looks like you assigned the 230G partition to /boot instead of /home. If I was you, I would have a 50-80GB / partition with everything in it and an 8G swap. Install Ubuntu and then create partitions in the empty space that are not related to the OS for your data. I would also go with Kubuntu 18.04, which will be stable soon, but that's just my opinion.

Hi Katu, Thank you for your comment. As I have already mentioned in my original post, during installation I assigned 500 MB to /boot and 230 GB to /home. I do not have proof but I am pretty sure. I followed step by step the guide. Out of the blue the /home partition just disappeared and (I have no clue how) it merged to /boot. No idea what happened there. :(
